[LARTC] How to become your IP range...

[Don Gould]

I have laptops visiting my network.

If they're configured for DHCP then I have no problem.

However if they're got static IPs set then I want my server to set it 
self up automatically to provide internet access.

Eg.

Laptop Ip: 192.168.6.234 - just because the owners admin decided to.
Laptop default GW:  192.168.6.37 - also very random, but allowable...

My servers lan side is eth1, on detecting a packets running around with 
the ip range above, it will then assign a new ip range to it self so 
that the laptop will function.

Has anyone heard of an OSS system that will do this?

Cheers Don

You are possibly looking for the proxy ARP feature, look into that.
